Our guide was great as we scheduled easy pick up and drop off locations. Each winery had a different feel as they were located in different parts of southern Santorini. Tour was finished off with Venetsanos winery which was located in the cliffs overlooking the caldera. We would recommend.

Come with us and discover the West of Crete!This excursion brings us to West Crete and our first stop in Chania, the most ravishing city of Crete. It was an important Minoan city and the “mother of the Cretan cities”, according to ancient writers. The city is divided in the Old City, with the gorgeous harbor and the New City, beyond its Venetian fortifications. The Old City is one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean and is called “Venice of the East”. We can admire samples of all the civilizations that have passed from here: archaeological Minoan sites, Turkish minarets and mosques, Muslim neighborhoods, Venetian fortresses, dockyards, fountains, squares, arches, mansions, Loggia and the Lighthouse. We can enjoy our lunch at the picturesque harbor or visit the famous Agora (Market), which houses traditional little shops and taverns. Here we can buy souvenirs or leather goods in very good prices.

Inclusions: Professional and Multilingual speaking guide., Transfers with air-conditioned luxurious buses., Free pick up service from any place in Crete.

Exclusions: Tips and Individual expenses.

We took this trip as we saw the good recommandations on Tripadvisor and enjoyed it so much! The instructors are very friendly and show you everything you need to know. The quads are in a good condition and there is a Jeep driving in front of you to guide you the way. The route goes up in the hills, through villages and also offroad, where it gets more challenges. We rented a Quad for both of us and changed drivers from time to time. The seats are very comfortable, you get an helmet and a hairnet for hygienic reasons and there are enough breaks. We liked that there is so much action at this tour, cause you can really speed up and drive over rocks :) We got to see a lot of the landscape. Would totally recommend to everybody searching for a fun activity to do in Crete.
